Can you see through your water?

I recently had the opportunity to purchase a bush water filter system - consisting of two buckets, and a ceramic filter, I wondered if it was really doing it's job because from time to time the water that I put into the top of the canister seemed clear to me?

This week I took a longer look at the inside of the canister and noticed that there was a dark layer of fine brown dirt at the bottom of the top canister, laying next to the ceramic filter. WOW! All that dirt was in my water and I could not see it. Then I was immediately thinking of the other things that could be living in my water before it was filtered.

Happy beyond measure that I am blessed with the NECESSARY extravagance of buying a water filter so that I can stay healthy here in Madagascar. Much like our relationship with CHRIST, we NEED that water to live.

Have you examined your water today?
